Gannon's voice is very soothing, but that might not be the best thing during lecture lol. Overall he is a good professor and explains material effectively. I would definitely take this professor again.

We had two midterms and a final all of which were 24 hours and online (as mandated by the math department). Don't be fooled they are still challenging and somewhat tedious.

He gives weekly textbook homework and then extra practice problems from the textbook which are actually very helpful to study from. His lectures are very relevant to what you get tested on. In essence, he sets you up for success but you have to be on top of it and make sure you're really doing the work because with the pace of this class, it's very easy to fall behind. Hmu **********) if you want the notes for this class. Good luck!

I love this man. I struggled so hard with the content, but Gannon really is kind and clear. If you ask him a question, you will get a direct answer, and if you still don't understand, he has a glossary of ways to explain it. He encourages participation in lectures, even if you are wrong. He walks through the content quickly (as he must), but in the best way possible. Thank you so much Gannon

Overall a pretty easy class probably because exams are all 24 hours for this quarter. Workload is easy because you only have to do 8-9 problems a week which doesn't take more than a couple hours max. He is a really good lecturer, and his notes are goated. Attendance doesn't matter. You can choose to be in-person, online, or even asynchronous. Overall I definitely recommend Professor Gannon, and I hope to have him again as a math professor

Professor has humor. Thankful the exams were ONLINE and 24 hours because the final(same thing with midterms) took me 10+ hours even though there were 6-7 questions with multiple parts!!!! Homework was not bad at all--easiest part of the course. Calc II was surprisingly super easy! It's just the exams you got to watch out for because the conceptual part gmfu but using the whole 24 hours was worth it because ended up passing all the examssss.

Professor was nice but lectures are super fast and can be confusing so you HAVE to pay attention because it's super easy to get lost and once you get lost it's hard catching up! I didn't go to discussions (not mandatory).

Very good professor! TAKE HIM if you can. I suck at math and his notes made it so easy to understand.

Gannon definitely knows what he's talking about and goes pretty in depth with the material. He does talk fast, so taking notes was a bit difficult, but they were clear notes. The grading consisted of homework, two midterms, and the final. The tests were 50% conceptual and 50% calculations. The conceptual questions were a bit challenging, but that might have been because the math department moved all exams online and 24hrs. In person, I'd imagine there would be less questions, and maybe a slightly lower level of difficulty.

Summary:
easy homework, tough test on series and sequences.
Overall would recommend to people just looking to pass their 31B requirement.
Must take if you are a biz-econ major as the lectures are easily found online and if you watch the lectures you would be chill.

This is a 2022 Winter Quarter COVID-19 Review! I have not yet received the grade for my final so I am not sure what I will get for the grade but this class was tough. The professor seems like a nice guy, and his explanations are comprehensible, which is probably why he has many positive reviews, however, he goes very fast. I am already not good at math so I found myself having to look up a lot of topics online to study on my own afterwards. The grading for homeworks I felt was though very harsh for a homework assignment. As for the exams, it was online so it is most likely a very different experience than if it were in person, however, they were extremely difficult. Although the midterms and finals were made to take couple hours, I spend an average of 8 hours on each (24hours given). Especially, the true/false questions were brutal. I don't think I did horrible overall but that is solely because the exams were open notes, open book, open internet (excluding Chegg, coursehero etc.) I do recommend him as a professor, but be prepared to stress horribly for every exam.

Professor Gannon is an amazing professor. He is clear, concise, and passionate about the material. Every lecture was recorded, notes were posted online, and attendance was option. There was no curve, but Gannon does state in his syllabus that the lower bound for an "A" may be decreased, so adjustments to grades benefit everybody. Grades are computed as follows: "15% Homework (Best 7 scores); 27.5% Midterm 1; 27.5% Midterm 2; 30% Final exam. OR 15% Homework (Best 7 scores); 35% Best midterm score; 45% Final exam." Exams were 24 hours online for this winter quarter due to the pandemic, but they were pretty length probably to make up for the fact that they were online and rather manageable. The first two midterms had 6 questions total with anywhere from 2-3 parts, except for the last question which was a 10 part true-or-false conceptual section. The conceptual section can be a bit tricky, but it is manageable within the given timeframe. There were 8 homework assignments and the lowest homework grade was dropped. It is obvious that Gannon has a knack for teaching online by now because everything is structured well and classes run smoothly for the most part with many different options for all different students. Once we returned to in-person classes, some of us were able to still attend the lecture live over Zoom and others simply watched it later in their own time. Gannon knows his stuff and is willing to help you as long you do the work. For such a difficult math class at this level he made the course not seem so much like a weeder course, but more like an introduction into higher level math showing us how cool it can be. I took this same class last quarter and received a D because the teacher and my TA were so awful - fast-paced and hyper-focused on the technical aspects. I was thankful enough to get Professor Gannon and Eric Kim as my TA which made this quarter so much better, and helped restore faith in my abilities. Gannon isn't overly obsessed with the mechanics like some professors are, he wanted us to demonstrate technical skills as well as conceptual knowledge which I felt helped my structural understanding of the concepts better.
